The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
